A Vietnam veteran breaks decades of silence to share one of the rarest firsthand accounts ever recorded — sightings of both Bigfoot in Georgia and the legendary Rock Apes of Vietnam.
In this powerful interview, Joe recounts his chilling encounter deep in a southern swamp and the strange creatures he faced while stationed on Monkey Mountain during the Vietnam War. From silent footsteps in the Georgia woods to rock-throwing apes in the jungle, this story bridges folklore, warfare, and mystery like never before.
🎧 Listen as Jeremiah Byron of Bigfoot Society explores one man’s extraordinary life — from Air Force veteran to eyewitness of the unexplained.
